MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attachment hardware is tightened securely - otherwise, injury or damage may result.

CAUTION

DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the frame tubing.

SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

1.Before using your Tracer SX5 or SX5 Recliner wheelchair, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check all parts for damage or wear and replace. Check all parts for proper adjustment.

2.Keep quick-release axles free of dirt and lint to ensure positive locking and proper operation. Refer to ADJUSTING THE QUICK-RELEASE AXLE in SECTION 6 of this manual.

WARNING

DO NOT use WD-40®, 3-in-1 oil®, or other penetrating lubricants on quick- release axles. Otherwise, binding and/or damage to the wheelchair may occur.

3. Clean/oil quick-release axles once (1) a week with a Teflon lubricant.

WARNING

DO NOT use the wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these instructions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm.

4.If tires are pneumatic, recommended tire pressure is listed on the sidewall of the tire.
